Overview

Reproduction is the process of producing young ones of the same kind. Plants reproduce in two main ways: asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction needs only one parent and does not involve fusion of male and female gametes. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and the f

Key Concepts

Reproduction means producing young ones

Reproduction means producing young ones of the same kind. It helps living organisms continue their species.

Asexual reproduction takes place with one

Asexual reproduction takes place with one parent. There is no formation or fusion of male and female gametes.

In bacteria

In bacteria, the nucleus divides into two and then the cell splits across the middle to form two identical daughter cells.

In Chlorella and Chlamydomonas

In Chlorella and Chlamydomonas, one cell divides into four daughter cells.

In yeast

In yeast, the parent cell forms a bud. The bud grows and detaches to live independently.
